Tennis

Our tennis courses take place on the all-weather tennis courts at Olympos. Olympos and tennis club TC de Uithof are working together in offering these courses. When you participate in a course you will have lessons once a week during a set day and time.

Levels

  • Basic tennis training: for beginners. You learn the basic techniques of tennis like forehand, backhand, service, volley, smash and the primary tactics for singles and doubles play. If this is your first tennis course ever, than this course is for you. If you want to follow the basic training, you must enter "beginner" on the registration form with the question about playing strength.
  • Tennis training: for advanced players (level 9 to 1). You have learned the basics or have followed tennis courses before. You learn special techniques and combinations. You will also learn more tactics for competitive play.
